Physical Fitness and Equipment

Although some of the itineraries can be fairly easy there is also a fair amount of trekking on hilly terrain and therefore a reasonable level of fitness is required. It is advisable to do some walking over hilly terrain before starting your holiday.

The altitude also varies from 300 to 2,000 metres a.s.l.

Our guides have had first aid training but it is the client's total responsibility to ensure that they are fit to walk.

If a client has a particular medical problem please ensure that they carry the necessary medication with them. (Please see Release of Risk Declaration Form)

Hiking or walking boots are necessary and it is strongly advised that these boots have been well tried and tested before the walk. Proper trekking socks would also make your feet more comfortable.

A waterproof jacket and trousers are also advised for walking in the rain! Although, if there are heavy rains at the start of a walk we prefer to wait for it to pass or suggest an alternative activity.

A backpack is needed for carrying water, waterproofs and camera etc.

A hat, sun protection cream, and insect repellent are also advised.
